Mad #134

In "Ditched in the South Pacific," a bumbling Texan and a grumbling New Yorker find themselves stranded in the South Pacific, their unlikely bond tested by absurd misadventures and the vast, indifferent sea. Written by Stan Hart and illustrated with sharp, expressive flair by Mort Drucker, this Mad classic parodies the grit of urban survival with a laugh-out-loud twist. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the duo’s doomed optimism in a single, perfectly deadpan frame.
